The unnamed officer is being probed by the force’s ethics department after a report made in April.

It’s understood the officer worked at high profile events as part of their duties.

A Cleveland Police spokesman has confirmed that the officer in question has not been suspended, but has been temporarily deployed to other duties during the investigation.

Force spokesman Will Green said: “Cleveland Police’s Directorate of Standards and Ethics is investigating a report received from within the force in April 2018, about the quality of a particular court application.

“The matter was referred to the IOPC which has determined that it can be looked at locally.”

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which recently replaced police watchdog the IPCC, confirmed it has passed the case back to Cleveland Police for it to be investigated.
